Happy March 10/marten day! May you be long and loved.

This fine gentleman commissioned some alternates for the other 3 seasons.

The people insisting that “Oh, ChatGPT or whatever the fuck is a useful tool as long as you double check its answers” completely mystify me. If you have to double and triple check every answer anyway, why not just do the research yourself at that point. Literally why would you do that to yourself

NO NO NO YOU DON’T GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL tell everyone you know www.freetaxusa.com

Welp. Confirmed, aged cheese is a migraine trigger. Big sigh.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Saw one on the trail on our hike last Sunday. I moved it off the trail so it didn't get accidentally squished. 🐞

Urge your lawmakers to vote NO on HR 1897! If passed, this bill would weaken the ESA. By prioritizing development over critical habitat, this bill will make it easier to harm & hinder to protect listed and endangered species, like the Gray Wolf. Act now! app.sosha.ai/s/cnCC4KLv

The FCC just opened public comments on SpaceX's plan to launch a million satellites to do AI compute in space. Under the current proposal, an environmental review won't be required. Please consider submitting a public comment to oppose this damaging plan. darksky.org/news/two-sat...

Duality. Stressed but coping.

Somehow I forgot to share this design, which just shows how busy and scattered I've been lately, because I'm really damn proud of it. (thank to @sassafras.bsky.social for buying one and sharing pics!) It's available on tapestries or blankets in my shop! www.sidianarts.com/category/hom...

ppl who still commission their favourite artists even in this era where everyone is broke and genAI is being pushed on us at every opportunity—you are appreciated more than words can express!!!

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

Quixote is now our oldest animal. found hurt in an old window well in the Spring of 2013 by school kids, Infection caused a few toes and some of her tail to fall off as a pup causing discomfort as she ages. Help us rally to raise her $500 to make her more comfortable! www.paypal.com/donate/?host...

This little guy was an attempt at acrylic painting that's been sitting not quite finished on my desk since August. Used my markers to touch him up and finish him. This one is on wood rather than canvas. #art #animals #painting

AI-generated artwork is officially not eligible for copyright protection after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal. The court ruled that a work must have a human creator in order to qualify for copyright. (Link: www.reuters.com/legal/govern...)

Armed with more experience and more markers, I went back and reworked this guy some more. And he is for sale.

So loads of people are sharing an obvious ai "glow up" of an actual photo. I never share ai stuff even to dunk, but in this case I'm sharing a comparison to show the problem. We have to stand against this slop at every level or it becomes normalised. They want us to stop caring. See alt text.

Comfort

Migraine day means avoiding the PC, so instead it's more marker painting. Sometimes it's fun sharing WIPs, yeah? This is the last sketch I had ready. After this I gotta come up with new ideas. I'm open to commissions for these as well.

Would there be any interest in commissions of these little originals? They'd be fairly artistic liberty, likely with fun bright colors like these. You'd get the original mailed to you. Probably ~$150

I'm trying to do better about adding alt text to my posts, but ADHD makes it hard, especially when I'm just trying to post quickly, so I often space it. Very sorry. Current migraine isn't helping.

Joy. #coyote #art

Verdant Prince. These don't photograph well, but it'll have to do until I get a chance to scan them properly. #deer #art

I deleted the thread on emotional crash outs because I can say it more succinctly like this: Check on your emotionally reserved friends. A lot of us don't express distress openly and many people mistake that for invulnerability or hypercompetence. I find that especially true among trans people.

just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production. you have until March 23rd to comment. i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.

Duality. Stressed but coping.

More paintings sketched out and inked. Ordered more canvas and markers. Will be doing some to sell soon. I am really enjoying these little guys.

Spent all evening working on this piggy for my husband. More acrylic marker & copic on a little canvas. More to come.

Post a picture you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

DO NOT USE CHAT GPT.

This is Gus. He really likes helping bring in the groceries. Makes him feel super strong and super proud of himself. 13/10 we're proud of you too, Gus (TT: angieee677)

What color do you think represents happiness/joy?

Well that's fun. ;3

THIS So many artists stop creating because of a lack of positive feedback. Leaving a nice comment is literally never a bad idea.

Four years ago I woke up at 5 am from distant explosions. I asked my boyfriend if he heard them too, he said he didn’t and I should go back to sleep. I tried to calm myself down, went on the internet, it was silent, no news or explanations.

This is the most incredible footage of blue whales I’ve ever seen

by golly I think I've got it

Two hours till we start! Pangolin facts and games and bug eating and probably a lot of screaming twitch.tv/pangolinfox

Pango is ready for his trip to @londonzoo.bsky.social on #WorldPangolinDay to help raise awareness about the world's most trafficked mammal and the importance of conservation to protect these unique creatures and their natural habitats. If you spot us say hello 👋🏼

On #WorldPangolinDay lets all take a moment please to raise our voices for the world's most trafficked mammal. Like rhino horn, pangolin scales are used in hocus pocus medicine in Asia and these elusive creatures are being driven into #extinction for nothing other than false myths.
